Updated.
I have not been happy with the theme of this blog since I moved over from Blogger.
I have 11 themes uploaded to this blog. 11!
And I have not been happy with a single one of them.
So, today, I decided that I was going to customize a theme to look how I wanted it to.
I took the theme Shade of Grey and changed the CSS to make it the way I wanted it to look. That took a long time. I was surprised at how many things there are to change when you want to totally redo the color scheme of a blog.
I was also surprised - pleasantly - at how much CSS I know.
Then, I made a custom banner.
And last, I made a new favicon to match. (Though my Firefox still shows the old one, but the new one shows when I view in IE.)
Finally, I can say I like my template.
Now, instead of spending hours working on a new template, I can actually post!
The only thing that I am bummed about is that the picture of the Power Rangers in the spaghetti bowl is gone.
Maybe I will put it in the side bar.
Update: The Power Rangers are back. And my favicon is now showing up. All is right with the blog.

Oh, very nice! Will you teach me CSS?
Someday I’m going to figure it out, but now is not the day. There is too much to do. Maybe I’ll take it on in the summer.
